    Does anyone know what is involved in upgrading the F40 turbo system. I know Roland did it on his car with a set of garretts.

    any information would be appreciated.

    Best regards, Jim

    From my personal background regarding turbo's I would go with Garrett and a full ball-bearing setup.

    Jim,
    I will have some info PM'd to you shortly. Instead of me asking you alot of drawn out question's I felt it best that you actually speak with the 'turbo guy's' I used. You will alway's have Norwood Performance to fall back on but imho opinion and experience one can source out the necessary part's for much cheaper, while keeping or exceeding stock quality, and use the money saved to go into the installation and tuning process at a reputable Ferrari tuner.

    I must relay to you that my turbo experience is with MR2's and not Ferrari's but I know some of the best tuner's/mechanic's in the MR2 community and have learned alot over the past 20+yr's. My personal MR2T ran a T66 turbo w/TIAL wastgate and at 15psi, half of what a T66 can make, put down 450+rwhp so it was a ROCKET!!!

    Anyway enough rambling from me I'm just happy to assist you in anyway I can.

    Gregg
